Clueless ? Hardly. Every other appliance in the home you turn it off and it goes off. You turn it on and it comes on. You get confused you turn it off and on. Its the definitive model of how home appliances works and its how people expect them to work.
In the embedded world you will regularly see adherence to that model in the specification. Firstly because the users do it, secondly because power cuts ensure it happens anyway
